Episode 3: Turtle Temper

*This means a line is dramatic, emphasized, or in the background*

Every person has a different character and temper. Some are not easily angered, choosing to ignore the negativity of life... but there are others who are the complete opposite.

We first see our favourite turtles on a rooftop for their nightly patrol, staking out in order to figure out the Kraang's next move. Since befriending April O'Neil, they promised her they would help find her dad, who had been kidnapped by the alien brains.

"Anything?" Leo asked Donnie, who was looking through a telescope. "Nothing yet."

Sam is sitting next to them, distracted by the Rubix cube she brought along to keep herself busy. She loved going on patrol with her brothers; it was good quality time with all four of them, but it could get boring. Especially when Leo makes them sit in the same place for hours.

Raph and Mikey were sitting on the skylight behind them. Mikey was getting bored too and decided to bug Raph by poking at him. Big mistake, as Raph grabbed his fingers and twisted them, causing Mikey to scream in pain.

"Guys!" Leo scoldingly whispered. "When ninjas are on surveillance, they are supposed to be silent!"

"Sorry, Leo." Mikey responds, rubbing his fingers. "I'll scream quieter."

Mikey pokes Raph one more time while chuckling, but this was the last straw. Raph Judo flipped Mikey onto his back before trapping him in a headlock. "Say it!" Raph taunted.

"Raph, be quiet!" Leo whispered again.

"Not till Mikey says it!"

"Raphael is all wise and powerful." Mikey groans, giving in. Raph squeezes tighter.

"And?"

"And he's better than me in every possible way." Then Raph pushes him to the ground.

"And?"

"And I'm a lowly worm beneath his feet who isn't fit to live on the same planet as him because he's so amazing and I'm a dirt clod!" Raph then threatens to give him a wet Willie.

"And?"

"And in the history of the universe, there's never been..."

"Okay, enough!" Leo scolds. Raph finally gets off Mikey, who breathes a sigh of relief. "We're wasting our time! The Kraang aren't gonna show up!" Raph said, very annoyed.

"Have a little patience, will ya?" Leo said casually. "Trust me, guys. They're gonna break into that lab tonight." Donnie stepped in. "I have reliable intel."

"Intel?" Raph sassed. "You mean, April told you." "You mean your girlfriend." Sam teased, making Donnie blush. "She's not my girlfriend, Sam! She's a girl, who is a friend, whose dad got kidnapped by the same aliens who are gonna break into that lab, and we're gonna stop 'em!"

"Or we'll sit out on a cold roof all night for no reason." Raph snarked. Suddenly, the squeak of a door opening rang across the roof as a very gruff and angry voice spoke. "What the heck's going on up here?"

The turtles, startled by the voice, turned to see a bald, out-of-shape, and frankly, rather ugly middle-aged man standing in the doorway of the roof. He caught sight of the turtles, but unlike most people, who would run away screaming, he stared at them for a moment with an unimpressed look.

"Whaddaya, playing dress up?" He snarked. Leo tried to explain, but the man noticed the broken satellite dish behind the turtles and got very mad. "Which one of you slime green ham shanks busted my satellite dish?!"
